Please visit www.sanctuary2014.org to learn more about Sanctuary and how to get involved. "We are building momentum in cities and states across the US. We are witnessing the rebirth of the sanctuary movement in the US. We are seeing a widespread and growing commitment by faith communities to provide physical sanctuary to immigrants facing deportation."

SANCTUARY is an hour-long documentary film that interweaves the powerful history of the Sanctuary movement in the 1980’s into the current day struggle for immigrant rights. Today, communities of faith are embracing refugees, providing Sanctuary and challenging an immigration system that is deporting more immigrants than ever before. This evocative and emotional film will ask the burning question: when an immigration system is broken and injustice prevails, are we morally and ethically obliged to aid refugees on our doorstep?
